Readers of a certain age will remember when you’d have to adjust the bunny ear antenna sticking out of the top of your TV or, worse, climb up to the roof and fix the big one up there to bring in a clear picture. The changeover of the broadcast airwaves to digital signals eliminated that, but it also means that tuning into a live event like the Super Bowl is a little trickier. Now you need a digital antenna, but fear not: a bunch of solid models are on sale right now. Here are three of the best deals we found.
General Electric is one of the oldest names in consumer electronics, so it’s no surprise that they have a digital TV antenna on the market. This is an all-purpose unit with a wide horizontal profile designed to be mounted on top of your TV screen. It’s simple to install and works with all brands of TV and converter box. GE’s PureAmp Technology uses a 4G/5G LTE filter to screen out unwanted noise for the cleanest possible signal. One interesting offer that distinguishes them from the competition is free U.S.-based technical support from 7AM-8PM Central Time on weekdays.
The thing about using an antenna to catch publicly available broadcast signals is that there are a lot more wireless beams in the air than ever before, creating tons of interference. That’s why this stylish and capable antenna includes a 3G/4G/5G filter that cuts out all cell phone traffic, focusing exclusively on the bands that TV channels use. It connects directly into your TV’s coaxial input and is powered through USB. The three lights on the antenna show you signal strength so you can position it most effectively. Right now Best Buy is offering a $20 discount.
Best Buy’s in-house Insignia line makes solid entries in a bunch of different categories, and their ultra-thin digital antenna will get the job done for just $25 on sale. The slim design and weight of just one pound makes it easy to mount on a variety of surfaces without drawing attention to itself, and the included ten-foot coaxial cable allows you a ton of freedom in room placement. Video quality is solid, supporting up to 4K signals from broadcast sources, and it pulls both VHF and UHF signals with ease.
